On the Good Ship Swanky

Sorry, couldn't resist the thread title.

Disney Cruise Line announced its European itinerary today, including two trans-Atlantic repositioning cruises.

Who's with me????

We're considering the eastbound 14-night repo, since the repo cruises are surprisingly the cheapest. Besides a stop at Castaway Cay, the repo cruise includes special ports - Canary Islands, Gibraltar, and Spain.

I've $124.19 saved up: will that cover it?

This one is actually tempting me

Um, not my cup of tea. If I spend 14 days crossing to Europe, where's my time to spend in Europe?

When I spend a ton of money to vacation, I want to see things. Ocean gets tired after a day. If I want to just hotel / restaurant / pool / relax, I can do that far less expensively ... and without the awful tease of going right up to Europe and then sailing back away.

Find me somewhere where you can spend under $1500 for 7 days of lodging, entertainment, transportation and 3+ meals...

It's all about the kind of vacation you want, and certainly a cruise is the ideal candidate for a honeymoon. Nothing at all to think about other than where to get your next meal and how to get back to the room, with the ocassional stop to sit on a beach or go snorkling. No, it's not ideal if you're looking for sight-seeing, but if you're looking for pure relaxation, ain't nothing like it.

Right here.

I'm getting a Disney Cruise for free in the coming months.

I love having a WDW CM in the family !

While Cruises don't interest me very much, crossing the Atlantic by ship sound so exciting to me. I think it is just the fascination of being so far away from everything that makes me want to hop on board. Of course, I'd end up in Barcelona and spend an extra week in Spain or thereabouts to end the experience, so I would get Europe time in.

Here's the web site with all of the info.

I love at sea days. I would totally do a repositioning cruise if I could. I love the motion of the waves, falling asleep to the sound of waves, and waking up to sun reflected on water. Plus, when you're at sea there's a better chance you can leave your drapes open without being seen by others.

I'd love to be able to just afford to go on a cruise to Mexico. Sounds awesome. I dream of one day taking a Disney cruise.
